Aw, Gayle - you don't have them where you are? We don't see them often in the city, but I love it when we do!Originally Posted by Queen of Poop
Experimental cookies on offer - chocolate with graham flour and mini marshmallow baked on top - anyone want some? An attempt at making S'more-ish cookies, but we'll see what the verdict is after folks try them (church folks are good guinea pigs for recipe experiments)!

The first time I saw a 'firefly' was on the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disneyland.
--------------------------
You cue up to get into a car/boat and the area has/had these 'fireflies' moving about.
In reality, they are little light bulbs hung from the ceiling/walls - pretty disappointing.
So, that was one of the things that was on my ever evolving 'bucket list'. To see REAL FFs in action.
The first few times are pretty spectacular, but a Kentucky Christmas Tree is the best.
As it gets dark, you see little sparks of light rise up from the lawn and begin to light up a tree. There were a few hundred in the neighbor's
tree - Just like a Christmas tree!

Karen,
I had to laugh at your 'experiment' comment.
My mom used to cook for a church group - she measured her success on how much food was left over....
I want coffee this morning, with a danish?
We got some 'futbol' on tap too!!!
Done!

Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
Together we stand
Divided we fall.
I laugh, therefore? I am.

Well, these were deemed a success, on a beautiful day a lot of people didn't stay for fellowship afterwards, but there were only 3 cookies left, and I tried several different iterations, so know what the proper technique is! Anyone wants it, I'll write it down!

Yeah, the comments from the professor were a little saccharine, but I did well with the first rule of writing......remember your audience. If you read the papers wihtout KNOWING I wrote them you'd be confused.

I knew a girl with a 5.0? It was a hardtop?
Congrats, now on to the exams?

A round for the house!
Done.

Can I just have the shaved ice to cool my iced tea, please? Hoping for the thunderstorms to arrive sooner than later and the humidity to drop. Last I looked, it was 85F but "feels like" 93F.

Okay -
Here they are - Chocolate Graham Yummies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
Cream together:
2 sticks of butter
3/4 cup sugar
Mix in:
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanila
until light and fluffy.
In a small bowl, mix or soft together:
3/4 cup white flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour (hence the "graham" in the title)
5 tablespoons cocoa powder (1/4 cup plus 1 more)
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Add this to the wet mixture, mix thoroughly. It makes a very soft dough, so throw it in the fridge for a few minutes to =harden up if necessary.
Form spoonfuls into 1" rough balls. Set on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart, and into each one, push
1 mini marshmallow - only about halfway in, don't push hard.
Bake for 11 minutes, marshmallow should be lightly browned. LET COOL on the tray a couple minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Remove from the tray with a spatula, as they are soft when warm. (If you don't, they fall apart very easily.)
Cool, enjoy!
If you pushed one marshmallow in too far, and it basically all melts into the cookie, you can always put another one on top of that spot and rebake that cookie for 5-7 minutes, to brown the new one!
When cool, store in an airtight container, and they'll keep well. Dunno how long, they've never lasted long enough without getting eaten!
